I had looked into the ammo when I saw the news, and Nexter in France was manufacturing 115mm APFSDS-T ammunition at least up to 2018, and presumably they weren't the only manufacturer. It's still moderately well-represented among former client states of the Soviets, with Syria and Egypt both having quite a few, and North Korea's Ch'onma-ho being derived from the T-62 (although the newest Ch'onma-ho V uses a knock-off of the 125mm gun instead of the 115mm).
